Sickle cell anemia is a homozygous recessive disorder. This means, in order to have sickle cell anemia, you must have two copies

of the recessive allele (aa). Sickle cell anemia can be a lethal disease if proper treatment is not available.
Malaria is a disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. More people die from malaria than sickle cell anemia worldwide. In malaria infested countries, those people who are carriers of the sickle cell allele (Aa) are provided a resistance to malaria, and therefore, are more likely to survive.


Based on the information given, choose the best hypothesis. 
A) Over time, the frequency of the dominant (A) allele would increase in malaria infested populations.

 B) In areas that do not have malaria, there would be an increase in the frequency of the sickle cell (a) allele.

 C) Due to natural selection, the frequency of the heterozygous (Aa) genotype would increase over time in malaria infested populations. 

D) Due to natural selection against the recessive (a) allele in malaria infested areas, there would be a decrease in the number of people who have sickle cell anemia.

How can mutations lead to human evolution?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

How Mutations Can Lead to Human Evolution?

Explanation:

A mutation is the random change in the nucleotide sequence or in the DNA organization (genotype) of a living being, [1] that produces a variation in its characteristics and that is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. It occurs spontaneously and suddenly or due to the action of mutagens. This change will be present in a small proportion of the population (variant) or the organism (mutation). The genetic unit capable of mutating is the gene, the unit of hereditary information that is part of DNA.

In multicellular beings, mutations can only be inherited when they affect reproductive cells. A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease. However, although they may seem harmful in the short term, mutations are essential to our long-term existence. Without mutation there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Biogenesis

Explanation:

Biogenesis has permitted rapid advances in our understanding of structural macromolecules from living cells. Biogenesis theory was first coined by Rudolph Virchow and countered the claim of organisms being in existence according to the Big Bang Theory technique. Biogenesis involves the study of how organisms evolved from smaller ones to become complex.

Biokinetics deals with ways to maintain a healthy body through physical activities. Bio thermodynamics deals with the flow of energy in a biological system while Bioinformatics deals with the use of computer and technology in data analysis.
